So I managed to get the correct mount for my Model 12 T/R. All is well but the front screw bottom out on the barrel...clearly too long...Grind the screw down? Is this typical?

Everyone does.
All of us that play with Savage rifles will at some time or another encounter that.
This is where you make friends with Mr. Dremel. Run on down to the local tool place and introduce yourself.
A file will work, too.
A little at a time....
'Scuse me while I whip this out...!
yes and yes....use a fine disk on a dremel and take a little off at a time.
Each morning eat a live green toad, it will be the worst thing you'll have face all day.
I suspect used would work fine as long as you set it aside and let it dry out first. Soggy, water-logged tooth picks tend to be too mushy and will likely give you a false reading.

So I would use the one above ,
But I just call the manufacturer short screws ;-)
Wow...what a concept..."used toothpick".
First check to see if one of the supplied screws is shorter than the other three. Most manufacturers of better quality mounts have learned this lesson and offer one screw that's shorter for the front hole. If not, you'll need to shorten it up a bit as mentioned above.

Excellent advice.
Seems I recall a couple rails I bought a while back that had 2 different length screws. Drove me nuts until I pulled them all back out & set them on the bench top.
It was then I noticed the length difference.
And after using a toothpick to check the depth of the holes...

i chuck my screw in a drill clamped down to something , turn it on and lock it on,,, then use what ever , file , dremel, stone , to shorten screw
